Wear it Wild art primary resource

Make a lion mask from recycled materials and packaging

The primary resources available to download here have been supplied by WWF UK to help with teaching and learning about the decline of wild species across the globe through the promotion of Wear it Wild Day on 20 October 2017.

Pupils will be challenged to follow instructions to make a lion mask using recycled materials and packaging in this Wear it Wild primary resource sheet.

The teaching resource can be used as a printed handout for instruction in class time, or for display on the interactive whiteboard.

WWF is calling for schools, businesses and local groups to sign up, dress up and fundraise for our planet’s wildlife and the need to protect it. Register to view Wear it Wild’s free educational material here: wwfwearitwild.education.co.uk

Activity: Ask children to complete the tasks on the page or adapt them for their own individual designs, colours and patterns.
